Trump suggests Iran bears some blame for attacks
None
President Donald Trump is suggesting that Iran bears some culpability for attacks in its capital that killed at least 12 people.
Trump says in a statement that "states that sponsor terrorism risk falling victim to the evil they promote."
But Trump also says the US grieves and prays for innocent victims and for the Iranian people. He says the Iranian people are "going through such challenging times."
Trump's comments are much harsher than the initial reaction from his administration. Trump's State Department had issued a statement earlier Wednesday extending condolences and condemning the attack while saying terrorism had no place in the civilized world. That initial statement did not include Trump's allegation that Iran sponsors terrorism.
The US has designated Iran as a state sponsor of terrorism since 1984.
